I came here with my gf after an evening at spin class. I had the shakes and needed some food in my system. She suggested that we come here for dinner. I found parking around the corner but for a Thursday night, street parking spots were slim to none.
The hostess sat us immediately. They were pretty busy and we didn't realize that it was close to closing. We ordered our food and soon after, our server went MIA. I told her that I wanted to also order some take out and she said she should be right back, that I would have to order withing 10 minutes, but she never returned. My dining companion saw her eating in the back with another employee.
There was another server that was supposed to take over for our server, I'm guessing. She seemed to try to avoid our table at all costs. If I caught eye contact, she seemed to go in a different direction. She was abrasive and acted as though she was upset she had to handle our table as well. Carlos, a busser, was very observant. He noticed that we were having difficulty getting service to come to our table. He was very attentive and would stop by to make sure we had everything we needed. We asked him for some things but did not want to inundate him, as it was not his job.
Eventually, the server stopped by our table and took my takeout order. Trying to pay the bill and getting containers for leftovers took some time as well. Carlos retrieved some containers for us and manager stopped by our table to handle our bill.
I definitely won't come here when it's busy. They're not super expensive but it's not worth sitting someplace where the person tending to your table is acting like they don't want to be there, and that you're an inconvenience.
The food was great. We shared the duck rolls and sashimi pizza. The rolls were tortillas, Stuffed with duck and veggies. It was served with a hkisin honey mustard sauce. The sashimi pizza looked so small when I first received it but it's got a ton of flavor. It was also on a tortilla, topped wtih tuna, salmon, white tuna, avocado and a sauce with tobiko. It was amazing and they used a torch on something because you could taste the smoky flavor.
I opted for a couple rolls. I had a salmon skin hand roll which was good, and a fantastic roll, with tuna yellowtail, salmon, avocado, cucke, tobiko and scallion in a special seaweed roll. It tasted so good!
My friend had the General Tso's chicken with brown rice. It came with a choice of soup or salde and she opted for the latter. It was a large portion and she had leftovers.
I brought home chicken teriyaki for hubbs and that was also a large serving, and my son had their red curry with duck. Both dishes came with choice of soup or salad, and I got them both miso soup. Everything was packaged with car and made it home without issue. I'd probably only ever get takeout from them, if I'd drive that far. read more
